What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Incumbent Representative Jodi Newell is seeking a third term in the New Hampshire House of Representatives against challenger Robert Johnson in Keene. Johnson has made lowering property taxes for young families and those on a fixed income his top priority if elected. He also supports a ballot question that would cap local school district property tax growth and limit administrative spending for two years.
